Taylor Hall was and still is an above average NHL player.
Foligno put up as many points that season and the next as Coleman usually does and you seem to think he can be traded.
Tyler Johnson has 17 goals in 67 games, probably more than Backlund will get.
Point is they did not tear it to the ground like you said they did. You somehow missed 9 veterans when you stated they traded every single veteran other than Seth Jones. They actually gave up young assets to acquire veteran players. The Hawks did nothing even close to ripping it down to the studs.
